T3 80: Top 10 Robin Williams Performances

Mildly Pleased ·

2014/08/22

The sudden and tragic death of Robin Williams seemed to hit the entire world pretty hard. Harder than most celebrity deaths. Part of that may be because the circumstances of his demise stand in such stark contrast to the kind of person we all wanted to believe he was. But I’d like to think it […]

2014/06/06

Did you guys see Louie this week? I guess it was something we knew was coming, but can you believe, just conceptually, that a show about a comedian living in New York would ever get to the point of showing a harrowing hurricane rescue? That’s a pretty special show, and we’re all lucky to be […]
